Everybody pre-ordering the six is doing so contractually, unless your t-mob.
How long does it usually take apple to sell the unlocks. #hatecontracts

I don't know about AT&T but the new Edge plan under Verizon isn't a contract and you can buy a phone not using the Edge plan if you want with Verizon. It makes sense financially to do so though (0% APR).
 
Not everybody. Apple was only selling the unlocked phones through the Apple store here in Canada.
 
The NEXT plan is only a financing plan, not a contract renewal. Right?
 
I have always bought the phone up front. No issues, I can choose who I want to have my contract with, and I've always been able to resale without a problem. I keep my phone in an otterbox because of my work environment, and it keeps it looking like the day I bought it.

You mean unlocked, which right now you cant.

There is another thing you have not realized! There are already quite a few threads on "unlocked" iPhone 6/6+.

Oh yeah: #redundant-thread ;)

So preorder it now on contract and when you get it pay the ETF?
How much do you lose that way?

I think with AT&T the ETF is $325 minus $10 per month of contract completed. Add the cost of the phone and the activation fee, possibly the first month of service.
 
I had a friend buy a unlocked att through the apple store app because he wasn't eligible for next or upgrade and it was offered off of contract to him.

FTFY. Us Europeans get them unlocked. I don't think they even sell locked iPhones here at all anymore.
